Fascinating orchideas

Viac o knihe

The exotic beauty of orchids is a perpetual source of fascination. Their variety and perfect shape is breath-taking. And this seems to become the reason for the difficulties experienced by designers when they confront orchids in their floral arrangements. Designers are certainly overshadowed by the strong personality of orchids. But designers should be able to enhance even this effect provided they find the right setting for the plant. Orchids are able to project themselves effortlessly. Thus what they need is simply a platform on which they can strut their thing. In this book Gregor Lersch provides a whole range of ideas about how these idiosyncratic individuals can be adequately displayed both as pot plants and as cut flowers. These 15 chapters contain more than 100 arrangements created for a variety of occasions. Gregor Lersch interprets these strong orchid personalities in his own unique style, assisted by Yen-lin Hung, who wrote a separate chapter containing much useful information about the orchid family and the type of care that has to be given to the various species and varieities. This book will appeal not only to committed orchid lovers but will inspire many with its unique insights.
